Public bug reported:
I have a network which supports jumbo frames end-to-end internally.
This weekend, after rebooting my laptop, it came up only negotiating
100mbps, but networkManager still set the MTU to 9000, which doesn't
work (can't do jumbo frames on anything except 1gbps, by spec). NM
should recognie the auto-negotiated rate as part of the "automatic MTU"
determiniation.
Kubuntu 14.04. When I pulled the cable, and rerouted it, the laptop re-
negotiated 1gbps again, and jumbo frames went fine. This output was
gathered during the time when the laptop was stuck at 100mbps.

MTU=9000 causes problems.
VM -> VM works on same server.
